A blog about Stonehenge Replicas. We kid you not.

What is the Clonehenge blog?

This is the most complete list of Stonehenge replicas on the internet, nay, marry, in the wide world! But, look, we know there are more out there. For now, be sure to check out the list of large permanent replicas.

This blog is meant to form a searchable list of Stonehenge replicas from the megalithic follies of the 1800's to the present. Use the search function below to search for your nation or state, for example, or search for replicas by material--for example foamhenge, snowhenge or laptophenge. The blog includes well over 300 examples of imitation Stonehenges from a silicon microstructure to huge permanent replicas and everything in between, including the famous inflatable bouncy Stonehenge!

We invite readers to inform us of modern henges we may have missed, or to send us photos of ones they made. Comments about what motivates people to build Stonehenge replicas are also encouraged. Welcome to the world of henging!

Stonehenge Adventure Garden in Austria

It has been a while since we found something to add to our list of large permanent replicas. Not only have we found one this evening but we’re delighted to add a new nation to the list. This Stonehenge garden is on the grounds of Landgasthof Feichthub country guest house in Austria.

But that’s not all! A path around the Stonehenge with a diameter of 16 meters (about 52 feet) is used to represent the sun in a model of the solar system, with stone balls proportionally sized to represent the planets scattered about the garden. Of course it isn’t possible to make the distances proportional, but still we think this is a delightful bit of whimsy, used at no other replica we know of.

The Stonehenge itself appears to be built of sandstone of a similar colour to the Tasmanian replica and the one in Orem, Utah. It’s just a linteled circle with five or six uprights, but that’s better than a circle of trilithons, and this comes close to having Aubrey holes and a bank, sort of.

Score: 7 druids! That’s not for the structure alone but includes the educational and aesthetically-pleasing additions that provide several ways to contemplate the sun in its relationship to Stonehenge and its effects on our lives. The innkeepers seem justifiably proud of their Stonehenge, which was built by the stone design firm of Alfred Schnellnberger. (No, that is not misspelled–it’s just Austrian!) The inn may be his baby, too.

For a few more shots of the Stonehenge, check out this Youtube video, in German, of course, about stone building and design.

That’s how it is, folks. We thought (hoped?!) we’d run out of Stonehenges to post and then we run across this. We know there have to be more out there. Help us find them! Or just give us money and let us tour the world looking for them. Either one is fine with us!
